The instant invention provides a polyethylene blend composition suitable for blown film, method of producing the same, and films made therefrom. The polyethylene blend composition suitable for blown film, according to the present invention, comprises the melt blending product of: (a) from 5 percent or less by weight of a first low density polyethylene (first LDPE) having a density in the range of from 0.915 to 0.935 g/cm3, and a melt index (I2) in the range of from greater than 0.8 to less than or equal to 5 g/10 minutes, and a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) in the range of from 6 to 10; (b) from 5 to 50 percent by weight of a second low density polyethylene (second LDPE) having a density in the range of from 0.915 to 0.935 g/cm3, and a melt index (I2) in the range of from 0.1 to less than or equal to 5 g/10 minutes, and a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) in the range of from 6 to 10; with the proviso that the second LDPE has a melt index (I2) that is different from the melt index (I2) of first LDPE; (c) from 44 percent or greater by weight of a heterogeneous linear low density polyethylene (hLLDPE) having a density in the range of from 0.917 to 0.950 g/cm3, and a melt index (I2) in the range of from 0.1 to less than or equal to 5 g/10 minutes; (d) optionally a hydrotalcite based neutralizing agent (e) optionally one or more nucleating agents; and (f) optionally one or more antioxidants. When said polyethylene blend-composition is formed into a film via a blown film process, the output rate is improved at least 6 percent, for example 7 percent, relative to a polyethylene blend composition consisting essentially of (a) a similar heterogeneous linear low density polyethylene component; and (b) a similar second low density polyethylene component. |
